No need to join the club.

Just enrol in P2A2, can already.

Hi Mum of 3, do you know if there is a quota/limit for p2a1 and p2a2? I heard its very competitive and not confirm can get in... still worry

I can say 99% get in lor...
1% is bcoz if like CHS last year will be very scary.

Did anyone subscribe to the Math +Venture last year? Is it good? Looking at the sample issue (or is it the first issue?), it actually doesn’t look too interesting to me.

CHC123:

I received my son's time table today. Confirmed 4days PE. I checked with other school, they are shocked that NYPS is having 4 to 5 days PE per week and what had happened to the school. Which means the pupils in the school no need to wear school iniform and just PE attire will do.

Not sure if it is true, but one of the 4 periods of PE would be health education class. Supposedly no need to wear PE attire for that lesson. Maybe could get your son to check with his teacher? For us, we have been on PE attire the whole of this week... while the top is collecting dust.

The only limit is the number of vacancies available during that phase.
NYPS has the largest intake of all primary schools, so there are plenty of places.

Don't worry about it...p2a1 and p2a2 are as good as guaranteed a place.

Take a look at the circular on increase of PE lessons… One of the 4 days doesn’t need PE attire…

used to teach chinese, and PE. she still on the committee on pri sch chinese exam / text book stuff, and also she is Chairman, Singapore Primary Schools Sports Council


the MOE increase in PE hours by half an hour need not be translated into more periods

wow! you really know her background well! :lol:

Actually, why can't they combine two periods of PE on the same day? Was this how it was done before? That way, 4 periods of PE would mean wearing PE attire on 2 out of 5 days, right?

Anyway, does anyone know why all students have to be in school by 7.10-7.15am when school officially starts at 7.30am?

The lady giving the parent talk at the school the other day was just saying that kids in Singapore wake up too early, against the biological clock....

so what does the environment monitor do - sweep floor?

Hi,


I am thinking of sending my son to Nanyang next year (2012) and I just wanted to ask the parents of current students about the Chinese curriculum. We don’t speak Chinese at home. While my son can understand and speak some chinese, I am concerned that he might be put off if the level of Chinese is too tough from the start.

I would really appreciate it if any parents can shed some light on the issue. Do you feel that the chinese standard caters to both kids who speak Chinese at home and those who don’t? And what does the school do to foster a love for the Chinese language?

My other issue is that since there is no affiliation to secondary schools for boys, my husband would rather we send our son to his alma mater instead since his primary school has an affiliated primary school. Its just an insurance, just in case he doesn’t do as well, he can still go to the affiliated secondary school. I never really thought about that, since we all went through the system and would go to a new school based on our results. But now that I’m a parent, there’s something about wanting the best for your child and lessening the stress level.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks!
